Know before you buy
Yes, the internal sleeve is specifically designed to accommodate most 15-inch laptops, providing a dedicated space to keep your device protected during your commute.
The cotton canvas is treated with a water-repellent finish, which provides reliable protection against light rain and moisture. While it is durable, it is not fully waterproof, so it is best to avoid submerging the bag or exposing it to heavy, prolonged downpours.
The lash tabs are versatile attachment points that allow you to secure extra gear to the outside of your pack. They are perfect for clipping on a bike light, carabiners, or other small accessories you need quick access to.
With a 21.6-liter capacity, the Daypack Heritage is sized perfectly for daily essentials, gym gear, or a light change of clothes. Its classic silhouette transitions well from the office to the trail, making it a highly versatile everyday carry option.
To keep the leather looking its best, you can occasionally apply a high-quality leather conditioner. Avoid getting the leather excessively wet, and if it does get soaked, let it air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
